Heilige Vincentius

The church was built on the south bank of the Jacob van Lennepkanaal . It was consecrated on 7 October 1901.The large three-aisled basilica had a high tower to the right of the front facade. This tower had an octagonal superstructure with corner pinnacles and a spire. This 67-metre-high tower in particular (the highest tower in Roman Catholic Amsterdam) was a striking appearance, because the surrounding houses were no higher than four floors.
